How long does it take to build a Node.js backend?

IRPR delivers production-ready Node.js backends in 8-12 weeks on average. This timeline applies to MVPs and full backends with authentication, APIs, and database integration. We have a 98% on-time delivery record.

What tech stack do you use for Node.js backend development?

IRPR primarily uses Node.js with TypeScript, Express.js, or NestJS for the server layer. We integrate with PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, and deploy on AWS or GCP. For real-time features we use Socket.io and for GraphQL we use Apollo Server.

Can you integrate Node.js backend with frontend frameworks like React or Vue?

Yes, IRPR builds RESTful or GraphQL APIs that seamlessly connect to any frontend. We have integrated with React, Next.js, Vue, and Angular in over 150 projects. The API design is frontend-agnostic.

Do you build Node.js backends for healthcare or fintech industries?

Yes, IRPR builds HIPAA-compliant Node.js backends for healthcare and PCI-DSS compliant backends for fintech. We have delivered projects for clinics, insurance firms, and payment processors. Compliance is part of the architecture, not an afterthought.

Do you have a fixed price for Node.js backend development?

Absolutely. IRPR offers fixed pricing after the Roadmap phase, which typically costs $5,000-$10,000 and is applied to the total project cost. Every feature is scoped upfront so there are no hourly surprises. 200+ projects have been delivered with fixed pricing.

Who owns the code after the project is complete?

You own 100% of the source code, including all backend services, database migrations, and deployment scripts. IRPR does not license or reuse your code. Full ownership is stated in our contract and we provide the code in your GitHub repository from day one.

How quickly can we start Node.js backend development with IRPR?

We can kick off your project within 1-2 weeks after the discovery call. The process starts with a conversation to understand your requirements, followed by a Roadmap phase that takes about a week. Over 200 clients have started this way.

Hiring Node.js Developers: IRPR vs Generic Dev Shops

Not all Node.js developers are the same.

Generic shops rotate developers mid-project. IRPR assigns a senior lead who stays through launch.

We provide fixed pricing and source code ownership. No black boxes.
